NASB95 Psalms 89 Chapter
89:1
I will sing of the lovingkindness of the Lord forever; To all generations I will make known Your faithfulness with my mouth.
89:2
For I have said, "Lovingkindness will be built up forever; In the heavens You will establish Your faithfulness."
89:3
"I have made a covenant with My chosen; I have sworn to David My servant,
89:4
I will establish your seed forever And build up your throne to all generations." Selah.
89:5
The heavens will praise Your wonders, O Lord; Your faithfulness also in the assembly of the holy ones.
89:6
For who in the skies is comparable to the Lord? Who among the sons of the mighty is like the Lord,
89:7
A God greatly feared in the council of the holy ones, And awesome above all those who are around Him?
89:8
O Lord God of hosts, who is like You, O mighty Lord? Your faithfulness also surrounds You.
89:9
You rule the swelling of the sea; When its waves rise, You still them.
89:10
You Yourself crushed Rahab like one who is slain; You scattered Your enemies with Your mighty arm.
89:11
The heavens are Yours, the earth also is Yours; The world and all it contains, You have founded them.
89:12
The north and the south, You have created them; Tabor and Hermon shout for joy at Your name.
89:13
You have a strong arm; Your hand is mighty, Your right hand is exalted.
89:14
Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; Lovingkindness and truth go before You.
89:15
How blessed are the people who know the joyful sound! O Lord, they walk in the light of Your countenance.
89:16
In Your name they rejoice all the day, And by Your righteousness they are exalted.
89:17
For You are the glory of their strength, And by Your favor our horn is exalted.
89:18
For our shield belongs to the Lord, And our king to the Holy One of Israel.
89:19
Once You spoke in vision to Your godly ones, And said, "I have given help to one who is mighty; I have exalted one chosen from the people.
89:20
"I have found David My servant; With My holy oil I have anointed him,
89:21
With whom My hand will be established; My arm also will strengthen him.
89:22
"The enemy will not deceive him, Nor the son of wickedness afflict him.
89:23
"But I shall crush his adversaries before him, And strike those who hate him.
89:24
"My faithfulness and My lovingkindness will be with him, And in My name his horn will be exalted.
89:25
"I shall also set his hand on the sea And his right hand on the rivers.
89:26
"He will cry to Me, 'You are my Father, My God, and the rock of my salvation.'
89:27
"I also shall make him My firstborn, The highest of the kings of the earth.
89:28
"My lovingkindness I will keep for him forever, And My covenant shall be confirmed to him.
89:29
"So I will establish his descendants forever And his throne as the days of heaven.
89:30
"If his sons forsake My law And do not walk in My judgments,
89:31
If they violate My statutes And do not keep My commandments,
89:32
Then I will punish their transgression with the rod And their iniquity with stripes.
89:33
"But I will not break off My lovingkindness from him, Nor deal falsely in My faithfulness.
89:34
"My covenant I will not violate, Nor will I alter the utterance of My lips.
89:35
"Once I have sworn by My holiness; I will not lie to David.
89:36
"His descendants shall endure forever And his throne as the sun before Me.
89:37
"It shall be established forever like the moon, And the witness in the sky is faithful." Selah.
89:38
But You have cast off and rejected, You have been full of wrath against Your anointed.
89:39
You have spurned the covenant of Your servant; You have profaned his crown in the dust.
89:40
You have broken down all his walls; You have brought his strongholds to ruin.
89:41
All who pass along the way plunder him; He has become a reproach to his neighbors.
89:42
You have exalted the right hand of his adversaries; You have made all his enemies rejoice.
89:43
You also turn back the edge of his sword And have not made him stand in battle.
89:44
You have made his splendor to cease And cast his throne to the ground.
89:45
You have shortened the days of his youth; You have covered him with shame. Selah.
89:46
How long, O Lord? Will You hide Yourself forever? Will Your wrath burn like fire?
89:47
Remember what my span of life is; For what vanity You have created all the sons of men!
89:48
What man can live and not see death? Can he deliver his soul from the power of Sheol? Selah.
89:49
Where are Your former lovingkindnesses, O Lord, Which You swore to David in Your faithfulness?
89:50
Remember, O Lord, the reproach of Your servants; How I bear in my bosom the reproach of all the many peoples,
89:51
With which Your enemies have reproached, O Lord, With which they have reproached the footsteps of Your anointed.
89:52
Blessed be the Lord forever! Amen and Amen.
